It's been very quiet here for a long time, sorry! That will hopefully change now though!We no longer live on our wonderful little farm and we miss all our animals, trees and garden, but Life brought us new challenges and adventures in 2015, and we are currently renting a little cottage in beautiful Mangawhai, a seaside village 90 minutes North of Auckland, for the 2016 summer. I have moved on from fairy gardens as I no longer have access to the natural materials needed to make them. I have to keep my creative juices flowing, hoever, so am sewing a lot again, as you will see . . .😊If you are a miniature or fairy garden enthusiast, like I am, please visit my Facebook page, Away With The Fairies, for ideas and inspiration.

The Splitcoast CAS challenge #163 this week is to be inspired by the pic above. Aren't the colors lovely? (The cupcakes look rather tasty too!)

I cannot just stop at one card for the many wonderful CAS challenges about every week, so here are a few cards I made yesterday.

The butterfly 'stamp' is not a rubber stamp per se, but a die-cut piece of this funny looking sort-of very thin bubble wrap type of plastic that was packaging in something I must've bought sometime, and which I kept 'just in case' a use for it should arise! Voila! A use for it indeed arose!

I just used doublesided tape on the back of the 'stamp' to be able to use it on a clear UM block. I rather like the squishy butterfly result.

Oh WOW!! These are amazing. I love the butterfly card, the colours are beautiful. Whata a great idea to use the packaging as a stamp. If you dont mind I might give this idea a go. I have some of that stuff stashed away for a rainy day! Mind you my card wont look any where near as good as yours.Take care.Love Sheila x

About Me

I spend so much time browsing through other people's blogs (crafts, fairy and miniature gardens, sewing, jewelry, design), that I thought I might as well also share ideas of mine from time to time - just spreading the joy!
